Abstract
- We present our findings on magnetar spectral line analysis in the context of upcoming high resolution, high effective area, high throughput X-ray telescopes for two cases: persistent magnetar emission and magnetar bursts. For magnetars in quiescence, we present our preliminary work on modelling for phase-resolved emission. Our results reveal the necessity of constraining line depth and width concurrently with line energy to conclusively determine hotspot emission and corresponding magnetic field geometry. We then present the results of our simulations using effective area and response of various current and upcoming X-ray telescopes for magnetar spectral line detection and expand on the exciting opportunities upcoming telescopes provide to probe quiescent and burst emission region geometry and propagation in the extreme magnetic field of a magnetar<br />Comment: Accepted for publication in International Astronomical Union Proceedings Series No. 363, 2021 : Neutron Star Astrophysics at the Crossroads: Magnetars and the Multimessenger Revolution
